This dude clearly had some type of something going on mentally. But why are most of these situations the result of some nigga trying to test his luck with cops? Niggas don't know by now that "exercising your rights" shit don't work for Black ppl? Comply and go the fuck home and fight the shit in...
Jamaica, I have no issue with you personally.
But it should always be your prerogative, as a mod, to lock a thread in the reason that is not hip hop related. Or move it to Donkey.
What are you not getting? In this context, timeless masterpieces are determined by one thing, and one thing ONLY...how recognizable a track is. Of course Pac will win that, by default, because he's the more mainstream visible emcee.
But it still does not speak to quality or skillset, neither of...
LoL. Props to Mvpbrodie, because this thread is just exposing a lot biases, and how adamant some people are with being politically correct.
I don't give a fuck about Pac's legacy, because I found him to be an average artist. So I guess I'm committing the ultimate hip hop sin by saying Common...
Do people really think Pac is seeing Common on that lyrical tip? Please cut the bullshit, and put the weed down.
People are so quick to talk about Pac's influence, completely oblivious to the fact that that is only synonymous with Pac being a more mainstream visible rapper, which has absolutely...
See, that's the thing. Commercial accomplishment aside, when the actual merit of work is in question, Common not only matches Pac's status, but he eclipses it.
Common's catalog, as a whole, is far more cohesive. And like I said in here already, he is technically the more proficient emcee, too...
mvpbrodie, I think you're going to be my successor, as the highest certified poster on this site, with respect to thread numbers.
Just cut it out, my nigga. Only mainstream rap is garbage now. But Common is not and has never been a mainstream rapper. That has never been his demographic, and...
I'm gonna have to disagree with the bolded. Because at 25, Common had released "Can I Borrow a Dollar?". "Resurrection", and "One Day It'll All Make Sense." These three albums alone are enough for Common to contend for G.O.A.T., just based on the sheer quality of the actual work, and not what...
Your definition of longevity appears to be made up, and grounded only by emotion.

So basically, you admit to being a troll? And you're really going to try and pretend like GnS is a place where only "mature" people can discuss intellectual topics, designated strictly for the 40 and over crowd? Mature? Intellectual? Really? Why the fuck are you here then?
And I'm not the I.C's...
And you know what's funny? The thread wasn't even about MY collection agency woes. That was just something I chose to put out there to jumpstart the thread, which was more about people and their experience(s) with collection agencies. But I guess you'd actually have to read it to understand it...
